Joy Personal care partners with 65th Filmfare Awards
MUMBAI: RSH Global, a leading personal skincare company under the aegis of its brand, Joy, partnered with 65th Filmfare Awards, one of the most prestigious Bollywood awards. The collaboration was aimed to create awareness about their initiative ‘#JustHireOne’, that urges companies to hire at least one acid attack survivor in their workforce. This initiative was a part of their larger campaign ‘#SkinOfCourage’, which was curated for the launch of ‘Joy Sensitive’, a special range of products crafted for hyper-sensitive skin of acid attack survivors.
Celebrities present at the award ceremony witnessed a sensitive moment when Pragya Singh, an acid attack survivor and the face of #JustHireOne, urged to extend the support to acid attack survivors by joining hands with the novel initiative. To lead by example, RSH Global hired three acid attack survivors and truly believes that these survivors are as good a talent as any of us.
As a part of the integration, Mr. Sunil Agarwal, Chairman, RSH Global, along with Poulomi Roy, CMO, RSH Global and Pragya Singh presented the best debut actress to Ms. Ananya Pandey.
Poulomi Roy, CMO, RSH Global, said, “This is the first purpose led marketing endeavour by RSH Global and we couldn’t think of a better platform than the Filmfare awards to talk about the initiative in front of the popular opinion leaders of the country. The company’s endeavour has always been to deliver quality products at an affordable price and this has been the genesis behind the launch of ‘JOY Sensitive’, skincare range crafted specially for the hyper-sensitive skin of acid attack survivors. During the R&D of the product, we realized that employment is a serious concern for them and hence, we started off nationwide employment drive with an aim to support their livelihood by associating with Pragya Singh and her NGO ‘Atijeevan Foundation’.”
Pragya Prasun Singh, Founder of Atijeevan Foundation and an acid attack survivor, said, “Acid attack victims often receive sympathies, but seldom has a brand made the effort to empower them. I am happy to be associated with such a great initiative by Joy personal care which urges acceptance of acid attack survivors in our everyday life.”

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI:Â Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
